What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

the only way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

    What is the best way to transfer photos from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro?

    If you only need to transfer photos, connect the two Macs to the same network. Enable file sharing on both, and copy the iPhoto folder from your old Mac to the new one. Put it in your Pictures folder. This assumes you have no photos on your new MacBook Pro you wish to keep. If you do then let me know.
    The first time you launch the new version of iPhoto with a Library created by an older version, it will most likely want to "upgrade your iPhoto Library". This is normal.

  • What's the best way to transfer everything from my 5-year-old iMac to my 1-year-old iMac?

    What's the best way to transfer everything from my 5-year-old iMac to my 1-year-old iMac?
    I'm doing role reversal with these two.  The newer imac is becoming our business computer, the older one will be our personal computer from now on until it gives out.  For the record, I have Carbonite on the business unit.  Should be a no-brainer, right?  (Which is precisely why I'm asking!)
    Thanks for whatever timely and accurate advise you may have.

    Thanks. I stumbled across migration assistant later that afternoon in a google search. Just finished using it today to do the deed. Appreciate your quick response!

    Remove the hard drive and get one of these USB hard drive adapters. http://tinyurl.com/a5l2htj Then plug the adapter into your iMac to see/retrieve the files.

    If you know how to set up a computer-to-computer Ethernet network, then you can give that a try, but a hard drive will be faster than Ethernet unless you don't have a lot to transfer.

    Do not use "mini" DVD's in any slot loading DVD drive.

  • What is the best way to back up my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) before taking it in for service?

    What is the best way to back up my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) before taking it in for service?

    While I have nothing against Time Machine (and I do use it on some of my systems), I always make a bootable clone before taking a Mac in for service (2 actually), and I verify that clone boots before I let the Mac leave.
    SuperDuper is free for a full clone (you only pay for incremental features).

  • What's the best way to transfer files from dead MDD G4 PowerMac to new iMac desktop?

    My Mirrored Drive Door 1 ghz G4 Power Mac recently stopped powering on. I have just purchased a new iMac with 2.5 ghz intel core i5. What is the best way for me to transfer the files to the new machine?
    Someone on another thread recommended buying a converter cable like this one: http://www.newertech.com/products/usb2_adaptv2.php
    Will I need to use transfer software too? I'd like to bring my playlists along to the new machine but don't need any of the software.
    Thanks!

    That will work. You could also remove the hard drive from the MDD and put it in an external enclosure so you would have it for backup.
    You can use the utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, to transfer files - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • What's the best way to transfer iTunes from my mac to my android

    I have tried everything and researched until I am exhausted. I tried android file transfer. My device cannot be recognized by my mac. I tried Kies and cannot figure out how to install it on my phone although I have it on my Mac. I transferred music via google play and it messed up my library and din't transfer playlists. What's the best way? How can I get my Mac to recognize my device and please don't day change USB stings as I cannot find anything resembling that.

    Copy the entire itunes folder.

  • What is the best way to protect my new Macbook Pro?

    I finally have a shinny new 13" Macbook Pro Rentina and I'm wondering what is the best way to protect it? I am considering either a hard case or a sleeve but which one is the best? This thing is worth more than my car and I can't afford for anything to happen to it! Hard case? Sleeve? Both?

    Congratulations on your MBPR! I had the exact same question when I bought mine. I ended up using a hard case and a sleeve. For the case I went with the Kuzy Hard Case and an Incase Deluxe Sleeve. Using a sleeve and case is great and I feel like my Macbook is very well protected and I am no longer scared of breaking it with this setup! Best of luck!

  • What's the best way to transfer iphoto pictures to an external hard drive?

    Just bought a new LaCie 1.5 Terabyte external hard drive to back-up all my photos.  What's the easiest way to copy my iPhoto library?
    Also is there a way to copy an entire "event" in iphoto and paste these events into subfolders on my external drive?
    I am trying to create a system of subfolders on my hard drive that groups some events together instead of copying my entire library into one folder.
    I tried the "drag and drop" way, but found that sometimes when I let go of the mouse button over the appropriate folder they would somehow miss the folder and end up pasted on-top of the folder instead of inside the folder.
    Or, am I just wasting my time with the subfolder thing? Is it better to just transfer the entire library to one folder on the external drive? ... since it's only for back-up purposes anyway.
    Thanks,

    The best way, IMO, is to copy the iPhoto LIbrary package intact to the external HD.  That will backup all your photos, edits, books, slideshows, etc.
    To keep the backup copy current use a backup application like Synk or Synk Pro which is capable of making incremental backups, i.e. backing up only those new or changed files.

  • HT1338 Help, I need to update my OS to Lion. What is the best way? I have a Macbook Pro 2008

    I'm late in updating my OS to Lion. Im on a MacBook Pro 2008. does anyone have advice as to the best way to proceed?

    Click here and read all of the steps to the bottom; if you want to upgrade to 10.7 but not 10.8 for some reason, instead of buying 10.8 from the Mac App Store, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.
